Daniel Handler
Image
I can't imagine why you would want to take your child to see what the career of a writer is like, because it mostly consists of sitting in a room typing, or going to the library and looking something up. Those are not exciting things to watch.
Daniel Handler
Image
It was a curious feeling, that something could be so close and so distant at the same time.
Daniel Handler
Image
I stayed there loving you, though the love made me, not sad but I guess melancholy, for a reason I couldn’t point to.

You can't believe everything you read.
Daniel Handler

If you are a student you should always get a good nights sleep unless you have come to the good part of your book, and then you should stay up all night and let your schoolwork fall by the wayside, a phrase which means 'flunk'.
Daniel Handler
Image
I was so grateful that Lemony Snicket wasn't the worst movie ever made that I overlooked many things that might have otherwise upset me.
Daniel Handler
Image
I go to bed early and rise late and feel as if I have hardly slept, probably because I have been reading almost the entire time.
